I was so totally in love with this series from here on in. Anyone else read it??

Mmmm...

Well this was an okay one, not as good as the first two, I really missed the Seaford-Carr interection. But it was still rather cool. Seaford did start to go on that entire guilt trip thing though, which sort of weirded me out.

It's amazing to find someone who has actually read these books, I got my dad into them and even my mum to an extent, I've read them all a couple of times, apart from Patriarch's Hope I think. I didn't like that as much

 

[Draco Weyr]

Patriarch's Hope is an aquired taste, and I admit I was not a fan of it... especially with the fact that Feintuch killed off Arlene,. Jared and Derek which really annoyed me... Especially Derek...

Plus Patriarch, along with Fisherman, and Voices, proberly has a bit to much of the trannie, New York underbelly slum stuff in it, which I really dislike...

There is something not right about having to read the trannie lines five or six times just to figure out what they are saying.

I agree, it did take a few readings to understand what was being said, I found myself actually skipping some of what was said in the really long passages, and not realy wanting to read through them when I found them

There where some chapters that almost where totally in trannie, thus I skip them (after the briefest of skim-overs).

Truth be told, they really added nothing to the plot and thus could easily be skipped. (The converstions I mean added nothing to the plot- the trannie movement of course was crucial to the plot)
